It is with great sadness that i write this. however The Admin team has parted ways. I have closed registrations, and disabled the option to create new communities. The server will be ran until the payments dry up (about ~1-2 months). We have tried to build a community for autistic people online. It ended up not working for which we apologize. Please do not go after the other team members. Some disappeared, some went their ways, but whatever the reason i wish them the best. If you have any questions, leave them here and i will try to answer them.

Maybe there would be a chance of a new admin team, however the legal owner of the hardware has gone no-contact and the sysadmin moved on to other projects.

Oof. Yeah, ok, if the VPS account owner's MIA, then... Damn. What about the domain? Does that also belong to the VPS holder?

I was only responsible for moderating content and the community so i don't know exactly. I think the domain does also belong to them.

That's a pity.

Down the road, I'd be willing to contribute to a hosting fund, or even shoulder the costs of a small VPS, but I'm probably 5 or 6 months away from being able to do so. And I'm not a sysadmin, so I couldn't help there. But I believe in the fediverse as a network of more focused, community-first websites, rather than the "jump on one of the 3 big, generalist servers" model. This space was doing that.

I would love to see it attempted again.
